My travel trailer has a cable jack to watch channels that the antenna picks up. Most of the KOAs we go to have cable available at each site. The trailer however, doesn't have a cable jack on the outside? Is there anyway to get a coax cable into the unit so we can make use of the channels available? I'd rather not have a cable coming through the screen door having to be left open a crack or something

We have the 174bh and I believe it has a coax hookup to the left of the water heater. Small black cap?
I was under the impression that my unit didnt have an outside hookup. And I couldn't find out. But once it's out of storage I'll take another good look around the water heater. Thanks!

On my 154BH it is inbetween the upper refrig. vent and the air heater vent and is labeled as cable tv.
If your television is next to an outside wall, it does not take $10 worth of parts to put your own connection in the wall. Just a little scary drilling through that wall, but really no big deal if you research it really well. Put an outside weatherproof jack on the outside and an inside jack plate on the inside and you are all set. Run a coax from there to your tv and tune the channels when you are all hooked up to cable.
Actually this is a good opportunity for me to ask a silly question. If I hook the cable to the trailer then where does it tie into the tv? From the same jack as the power antenna?

I have a 2018 154BH. It appears that there is no outside cable connection on this year's model. So, short of drilling a hole through my wall is my only other alternative to run the cable out the screen door? Or are there any other suggestions?
Thanks
For mine, I bought a coax cable adapter where it is literally flat as a paper and I run the coax cable from the campground post under the trailer then up through the door with the flat part so the door can close, then one more piece of regular coax cable straight up the wall to the TV.
I'll post a pic of what I ordered on Amazon
I bought an interior/exterior cable receptacle kit and contacted Jayco Customer Service for wall construction drawings. Jayco provided the drawings (computer files) within days. I plan on installing the cable receptacles that Jayco should have put in place originally.
